When comet's and asteroids leave debris in Earths orbit path around the sun. When this Debris enters earths atmosphere it blows up cause lights in the sky. We call these lights ' meteor showers "

Sabrina's Space Study
How did Orion get its name?
Orion got its name from a Greek Mythology Hunter and was brought to the stars by Artemis. She was tricked into killing him. Orion is nicknamed "The Hunter." If you look at the sky at night, look for the constellation Orion. It is shaped like "Orion the Hunter." In conclusion, we will always remember Orion because of how the constellation got its name.
How do you see Saturn through its rings?
You can see Saturn through its rings because it has gaps. They might me minuscule but they are still making a view to see Saturn.
What are gas giants?
Gas giants are large planets that have cores and gases. They are called "Jovian". In conclusion, they are made up of multiple gases.

Stephen's space study
Investigation 1
Focus Question: What is a Lunar Eclipse
Knowledge Claim: A Lunar Eclipse is when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are all aliened
Investigation2
Focus Question: What are Parsecs
Knowledge Claim: a Parsec is light years in space travel. A Parsec is about 30.857 pedometers
Investigation 3
Focus Question: What is a Parallax
Knowledge Claim: A Parallax is two different lines of sight
Investigation 4
Focus Question: How are type 2 Supernovas formed
Knowledge Claim: Type 2 Supernovas are formed in the core of a star
Investigation 5
Focus Question: Why a Comets tail points away from the Sun
Knowledge Claim: The Sun solar winds keeps a comets tail facing the other direction

VEE maps one, two and three
My first focus question was "what is a total eclipse". After some research I was able to write my knowledge claim. It read "it is a time when something other then the moon blocks the sun's light".
My second focus question was "what is the warmest type of star". I found some good information and wrote my knowledge claim as such: "blue hypergaints are the warmest type of star, reaching 40,000 oC or higher".
My last focus question was "what is a solar flare". This one was harder but I did it and I have made a knowledge claim: "it is a explosion of gases do to magnetic fields on the sun".

The Experiment
The vinegar corrodes and oxidised the iron fillings. The iron fillings make a pattern around the magnetic field.
